Research direction
Investigate the VSSTester.ps1 script, specifically the code path for option 1. Check if the script incorrectly iterates over all databases instead of filtering by the selected database. Review the parameter handling and any conditional logic that distinguishes between backing up a single database versus all. Ensure that the user's selection is properly passed to the backup function.
